Learn to write Moment to Moment so your stories always come from the heart
For writers who want to create stories that forge a profound emotional connection with readers by tapping into your own authentic experiences and feelings.
Give your writing group or event a unique framework for layering the most important beats from from FOUR different elements of storytelling so you can write freely without spiraling into chaos or losing the spirit that makes your writing shine.
In this transformational workshop, I teach my Moment To Moment Method so you can write from the heart and stop stressing over story details before they matter. I don't sell this as an on-demand (self-paced) workshop in my online university, so it'll be a treat for your event, even if your writers are already one of my students!
Book me as a speaker at your next meeting, workshop, retreat, or summit. More info here about other workshops I offer (click to browse). Or contact me below to set up a date.
Creating stories that resonate emotionally isn't about grand gestures or dramatic plot twists. It's about writing from a place of authenticity and vulnerability, allowing your characters to feel as real to readers as they do to you.
In this insightful 50-minute workshop, we'll explore how to tap into your own emotions and experiences to craft stories that genuinely connect with readers.
I’ll share my favorite techniques to help you:
- Embrace emotional authenticity and weave it into your character-driven fiction
- Draw from personal experiences to create relatable, compelling characters
- Write story arcs that evoke powerful emotions and imprint unforgettable moments
- Infuse your writing with genuine emotion, connecting readers in a way that transcends the words on the page
This session is perfect for you if…
- You've ever struggled to create an emotional connection between your story and your readers
- You want to write stories that feel authentic and meaningful, not superficial or cliché
- You're ready to dig deep and infuse your writing with humanity
- You're ready to bring more vulnerability and authenticity to your storytelling
Join development editor and romance author coach Sue Brown-Moore and discover how writing from the heart can transform your storytelling and leave readers swooning for more, long after the final page.
Note: This session uses romantic fiction as its example, but the technique works for nearly all character-driven fiction genres.

about Your Speaker
I'm passionate about helping fiction writers craft unforgettable characters. As a book revision coach, I specialize in guiding authors through the process of creating compelling character-driven stories. My approach focuses on character transformation, breaking away from traditional plot-first methods to help you build characters that truly resonate with readers.
Over the years, I've had the joy of working with many talented writers, helping them nurture their unique voices and bring their characters to life. While I've been fortunate to receive recognition in the publishing industry, what really drives me is seeing writers like you achieve your own professional "Happily Ever Afters." I'd be thrilled to join you on your journey to creating characters that linger in readers' hearts long after they've turned the last page.

A wonderful talent for explaining
I have been following your teachings for some time now, and you never fail to amaze. You have a wonderful talent for explaining what many would consider obscure.
Your ideas are clear and simple. I truly believe now (after trying to write by beat) that knowing what the Root Fear is absolutely key since it is the engine behind the character driven plot/story.

I greatly appreciate your teaching -- style and content. I've read many of your articles / emails over the last 2 or 3 years.

First, I want to say you are a phenomenal speaker and teacher. I watched your "Liar, Liar, Plot on Fire: A 5-question story diagnosis technique" webinar back in March and loved it. So of course I'm excited by the prospect of even more of your content.
